Doug was huge in the early 90s during the era where quirky and weird was in vogue. It only fell off in the later part of the decade because other shows took the general slice of life premise and did it way better. For a while there Doug was a pretty unique show though. I don't think he's pissed at all, he had his moment in the sun and got the rights bought out by fucking Disney right as that sun was setting anyway.
Also Doug did have notable cultural influence on the internet, it basically pioneered the concept of "taking a kids show and putting it into surreal situations with weird art". There's so much bizarre Doug shit that was made online from the 2000s to early 2010s.
